    How does this rum taste?

    The J. Bally Millésime 1998 is a refined Martinican agricole rum distilled from sugarcane juice, featuring a 43% ABV. With aromas of woody, dried fruits, nutty spices, and roasted undertones, this rum offers a complex aromatic profile. On the palate, it presents a balanced blend of woody, dried fruit, and dry flavors, with a round and roasted character. User feedback highlights its well-rounded structure, yet some find it lacks complexity compared to other agricoles. This rum is praised for its rich, roasty notes and moderate sweetness. It appeals to those with a preference for woody and nutty profiles but may not suit those who favor more vibrant or complex rums.

    26.03.2022 Sampling a bit at home. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Light wood, Agricole, oranges, faint varnish, light banana, light vegetal. Palate Fresh, light, Agricole, light wood, faint smoke, orange, light dried fruit, light vegetal. Finish Medium long, light wood, light orange, faint caramel, faint banana.

    Very nice, round and balanced Agricole with toasty notes.

    Holz, röstig, getrocknete Früchte, leicht säuerlich und pflanzlich. Ausgewogen. Im Mund etwas würziger und holziger. Der Rum wärmt ordentlich, bevor sich ein unspektakulärer Abgang anschließt. Ein etwas besserer Standard Agricole.

    An Agricole with a fruity nose, where I smell sour fruits in addition to the dried fruits. In addition, sugar cane, wood and nut. In the mouth somewhat unspectacular, dry, toasty and dark chocolate, which continues pleasantly sweet in the finish with a little more fruit.
